"The large model of an oil molecule revolving atop the tower marks the Standard Oil Company of California Pavilion.

Much of the pavilion itself is made from petroleum or petrochemicals, including the stout plastic skin which forms the walls. The entrance leads past a pool with a cutaway island, showing the geology of oil. Nearby is a 40-foot map and a replica of the world's first service station--opened in Seattle 1907..."
